That Charles H.

Charles H. Thurston.

Thurston of Macon, Georgia, is hereby relieved of all liability for repayment to the United States of the sum of $905.08, representing over-payments of salary which he received as an employee of the Department of the Air Force at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, for the period from September 3, 19(53, through July 17, 1965, such overpayments having been made as a result of administrative error in determining the rate of basic compensation to which the said Charles H. Thurston was entitled when he was changed from grade GS–9 to grade GS–7, effective September 3, 1963, due to the abolishment of his former position. In the audit and settlement of the accounts of any certifying or disbursing officer of the United States, full credit shall be given for the amount for which liability is relieved by this Act.

Sec. 2.

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to the said Charles H. Thurston the sum of any amounts received or withheld from him on account of the overpayments referred to in the first section of this Act. No part of the amount appropriated in this Act shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall lie unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
